The lack of weaponry access for Ukraine, as highlighted by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is seen as empowering Putin. Zelenskiy expressed concern about the artificial shortage, emphasizing the potential danger it brings in adapting to the ongoing war intensity.
The delayed U.S. military aid, coupled with acute ammunition shortages, particularly in regions like Avdiivka, raises worries about the security of American allies. Zelenskiy urges not to question when the war will end but to reflect on why Putin can sustain it.

The possibility of Putin interpreting Trump’s comments literally and launching an attack on an American ally, especially if Trump is reelected, adds another layer of concern. The fear is that such an attack could escalate into a broader conflict, and the U.S. might find itself at war with Russia.
Reflecting on historical instances of deterrence failure in American foreign policy, the importance of alliances like NATO in preventing wars is evident. Trump’s approach, reminiscent of times before such alliances, raises alarms about potential conflicts and the U.S. being drawn into them.
The examples of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, and the situation in Ukraine highlight the risks of not having strong alliances and clear commitments. Trump’s actions are not just politically unwise but, based on historical precedents, could be playing with the risk of unintended consequences and potential conflicts.
